IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG

[A Former User]

@Sody101 a black denim is the most easy to style imo, also just rock it like you like it there are no particular rules or so. If you like ib more as a first option maybe try a XHSib which are restocked in the most cuts at the moment. But SBG should be in every IH love closet

@Sody101

I have both the 21sbg and 21ib, if I had to choose between them, had to, I would pick the ib because of the really unique and beautiful way it fades. Both incredible though.

@drewfonse the fades, the sheen when new and the endless view of deep blues and black which i so freaking cool for sure!

@Heavy_blue

And in full sun? Oh my!

[A Former User]

@drewfonse yeah! It’s a freaking cool denim!

@Sody101 All of the above. Lol. White t shirt and denim type 3 particularly.

@Sody101 look at the WAYWT threads for fit inspo

50 wears so far. Fades coming in a bit slower than 21ib, but they’re getting some evo.

@WhiskeySandwich looking nice!

Looking good mate @WhiskeySandwich

Gotta catch up I guess. Have worn them nonstop without a missed day but not too much happening tbh

I don't know if it clings to this fabric differently or just more noticeable, but the pet hair struggle is real.

For the more budget conscious like myself, strips of packing tape work well.

[Bums_Fan]

@fanya my experience with an older run of this denim is that pet hair clinginess goes away with wear and washes.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@weftyarn yeah I think my photos exaggerate the fades, they’re pretty much just varying degrees of shininess with some gray fuzz fibers coming thru. I have been doing a some of my PT stuff in them though. Still they’re a ways behind where my 21ib were at 50 wears.

Thanks @Heavy_blue man! Loving em!

Agree re: pet hair. Had a bunch of lint the first couple days/weeks and i thought it would drive me crazy forever but it seemed like as they softened up they became much less of a lint magnet.

[WhiskeySandwich]

Looking at those pics on an actual computer screen vs my phone, i see they're way too light and washed out....will have to reshoot.

[WhiskeySandwich]

I guess these should reflect the look a little better

[weftyarn]

impeccable @WhiskeySandwich
love the stacking and whiskers!

will try to take some proper update pics of mine

[WhiskeySandwich]

@weftyarn thanks! I’d love to see how yours are doing.

[weftyarn]

Here you go
62/62 wear days thus far but they‘re still bravely holding on to their dye no matter what I throw at them haha.
Let‘s see what a week of hiking will do to them.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@weftyarn yeah they def seem to be slow to start. Ive got some speckling on the thighs but otherwise the only real fades are the slight wallet lines and the back belt loop. It noticed my 888s fade that belt loop faster than anything, kinda weird
